Technology
After the launch of the new RS20 sensor – eddy current testing systems with rotating
mechanics – a number of machines have been installed at several key customers and
with good results showing in various applications.
The system is primarily being used at manufacturers of steel bars or in wire drawing lines
applications. The advantage of the system lies in the variable stepped probe discs that can
be specifically tailored to the needs of customers for each application and each diameter.
The relevant test equipment is available in different variants, from a simple one-channel
to a complex ten-channel version. This enables materials testing for transverse
orientated defects, longitudinal orientated defects or the combination of both defect
types.

www.pruftechnik.comLaserLinc Inc, an American manufacturer of technology for precision measurement
of diameter, ovality, wall thickness, concentricity, eccentricity and inside diameter, has
launched the TLAser103™ scanning laser micrometer – a new single-axis laser gauge
for the inspection of small diameters quickly and accurately.
The TLAser103™ micrometer gauges the smallest products such as fine wire and
monofilament with diameters as low as 0.0006" (0.015mm/15μm).
Features include:
•
Fast inspection – 1,200 per second. Example: a wire moving at 100 feet per minute
(20 inches/second), the measurement rate of 1,200 Hz yields a measurement every
0.017" of product
•
Repeatability (two second) – ±0.000001" (±0.025µm)
•
Positional Error – ±0.00001" (±0.25µm)
•
Interfaces with Total Vu™software – for complete product and process monitoring
and control
•
Interfaces with SmartLinc™ processors – for industrial communications with PLCs,
HMIs and similar devices
•
Ethernet connectivity – with NetLinc™ interface
Jeff Kohler, vice president of LaserLinc, said: “The robust design of the TLAser103™ laser
micrometer ensures reliable inspection of very small parts at a fast rate, even in harsh
manufacturing environments.”
